About Sakura Japanese Restaurant

Welcome to Sakura Japanese Restaurant, located at 2302 N Richmond Rd in McHenry, IL. While categorized on our platform as a Chinese Restaurant, Sakura Japanese Restaurant specializes in Japanese cuisine, including sushi.

Customer reviews of Sakura Japanese Restaurant present a stark contrast in experiences. One reviewer reported extremely poor service from the moment they entered until they left. They described being ignored in favor of customers who arrived later, drinks being served to those later arrivals first, and food being "thrown" on the table. The food itself was described as "ice cold," and a vegan meal was served with shrimp, indicating a significant error in order preparation. This reviewer also described a disrespectful encounter with the front staff regarding payment methods and a request for a to-go box. They concluded by stating they would never return or recommend the restaurant due to perceived harassment, unsafe food, and being overpriced.

In contrast, another customer had a more positive experience, although with some reservations. This reviewer mentioned that their husband enjoyed the food more than they did, attributing their own lower enjoyment to personal texture issues rather than the restaurant's fault. Their husband reportedly liked everything, including some of their meal. They specifically enjoyed the Golden Shrimp and the Thai Tea Frappe. This reviewer found the service to be friendly and the atmosphere nice. However, they did note the presence of some disruptive fellow diners, including one playing audio loudly on their phone without headphones, and while they wished staff had intervened, they understood the potential risks of doing so.

Overall, feedback on Sakura Japanese Restaurant is mixed. While one customer experienced severely poor service, food quality issues (cold food, incorrect order), and a negative interaction with staff, another found the food enjoyable (despite personal texture preferences), the service friendly, and the atmosphere pleasant, albeit with some disruptive fellow patrons. Both reviewers mentioned the restaurant being overpriced. Potential customers should consider these contrasting experiences when deciding whether to dine at Sakura Japanese Restaurant.

From the time we stepped in, till the time we stepped out, the service was horrible. Ignoring us for regular customers who walked in 10 minutes after us being seated (It was not crowded at all). Serving drinks to customers that came in after us, throwing the food on the table 😑 as if that's acceptable behavior to treat customers. The food was ice🥶 cold. Vegan meal was served with shrimp. The lady in the front was extremely disrespectful, screaming at me for asking if they accepted apple/Google/tap pay. This continued when I walked to the front and asked for a to go 📦 box. You can see the remade meal box vs. to-go box. Extremely overpriced. We will never be returning and would never recommend the restaurant to anyone unless you like throwing away your 💰 money, harassment, or unsafe food.

My husband enjoyed the food more than I did, but that isn't the fault of the restaurant. I have texture issues, and this was what caused me to not enjoy the food as much. My husband liked everything and even ate some of mine. I did really enjoy the Golden Shrimp (I forgot to take a picture of that). I also enjoyed the Thai Tea Frappe (forgot to take that pic as well). The service was friendly and the atmosphere was nice. There were a few odd customers dining in. One customer was dining alone and watching something on his phone without headphones, and it was pretty loud. We were happy when he left. Would have been nice if staff asked him to turn volume down, but in this day and age, can't blame them for not taking the risk of that person being disruptive more so afterwards.

My second time here, once again I liked it. Food is fresh & very delicious. I did order a roll I wouldn’t again, the Catapillar roll. It had eel on it & didn’t like the way it looked, so I wouldn’t order that one again. The tempura cheesecake was algo very yummy.

Not my first time here, but it has been a few years! Restaurant is super clean, staff friendly. We were seated right away, went about 5:30 on a Monday it was pretty empty! We started with the golden shrimp appetizer. It was delicious, it definitely could have had a few more shrimp in it for the amount of sauce on the plate! I think there were 6 small shrimp under the sauce. We did one piece of Unagi sushi, it was perfect! We tried 4 of the special rolls. All of them were delicious! All of the sauces were rich and the spicy was spicy without being overkill. The best part…they did not get carried away with the rice. Each roll has rice, but was minimal compared to the other ingredients allowing the true flavors to shine through! They have their own parking lot so parking is easy and plentiful. Bathrooms were clean. Restaurant was clean.

We had Gyoza, Rangoon, fried rice, lo mein, and spicy tuna sushi. The meal was good, very good in fact. My only critique would be for more flavor in the rice. I understand that restaurants have to cater to the clientele in the area, but it felt off. Overall 8/10 food wise, but the sushi saved it completely. I haven't had good sushi since I was overseas. It was well done for me here. Will 100% be returning.
